| ~ BTD6 description |
Legend of the Night (also referred to as LotN or The Night) is the last upgrade on the third path for the Super Monkey in Bloons TD 6. It gains a passive ability that summons a black hole at the end of the track if any bloon (including all M.O.A.B. Class Bloons, even B.A.D.s, but not boss bloons) escapes. The black hole ability absorbs the first bloons that leak and prevents the player from losing any lives for 7.5 seconds before disappearing, and it has a long cooldown of 2 minutes. The tower also becomes much stronger with a slightly longer range (+4 range to be precise), +15 pierce (from 7 to 22), base damage increased by 3 (from 2 to 5), and dealing 8 damage per hit to MOAB-class Bloons.
It costs $204,000 on Easy, $240,000 on Medium, $259,200 on Hard and $288,000 on Impoppable.

Summary[]
Legend of the Night is the second-most powerful tower in the entire game (excluding paragons), second to the True Sun God and its special variant (Vengeful True Sun God). Thanks to its black hole passive ability, it can temporarily tank bloons (except boss bloons) without losing lives, equivalent to instakilling leaking bloons but without the income gain. This makes the Legend of the Night excel at extreme late-game (Rounds 101+), as a safety net for leaks, since it can tank any bloon by effectively deleting them.
Outside of its special ability however, it is almost never used as it is simply too expensive compared to other Tier 5s that can win the game just as easily as Legend of the Night but for cheaper.
However, alongside The Anti-Bloon, Legend of the Night is required as a special sacrifice to the Vengeful True Sun God, making it not accessible until the Vengeful True Sun God is sold. The most effective tactic is generally to exchange the Legend of the Night's ability for the 2x damage, as the increased DPS is more valued than the Legend of the Night's comparatively weak attack and niche ability.
Tips[]
- The Legend of the Night can be placed along straight lines to increase the usage of its fairly large pierce.
- Setting the tower to 'Strong' allows it to prioritize high health MOAB-class bloons, which is its specialty.
- Do note that this means that if it is focusing on a higher-tier bloon, lower-tier MOABs may still pass through defenses.
- This upgrade synergises very well with the Elite Defender and Bomb Blitz since it can trigger those towers' abilities without losing any lives (although Legend of the Night is very expensive for such a synergy).
- Deleting bloons with the passive ability will not reward cash.
